A report creeps out from the North
western construction company that the
only extension or building contracts
now in contemplation is one of 800
miles. It is not known whether this is
on with the Hills branch or on with the
Wyoming line, but from the slowness
manifested in ironing the so miles which
have been graded west of Douglas for a
year, it is believed to signify a line
reaching out at once from the Hills across
to Buffalo and on nearly to the Nation
al Park. It is not certain this contract
will be let, but it is certain it is talked
about, and it is judged to have ap-
preached serious consideration from the
fact that it has lost SO much of its se-
crecy. If this contract is not let, we
shall have little more railroad building
out this way for some time on the part
OF the Northwestern Chadron journal.

A Methodist College.

Among other items of businesa trans
actions at the Methodist conference re-
Gently held at Custer City was the
appointment of committe consisting sol
Revs. James Williams of Centennial,
J. o. Dobson OF Deadwood, and John
w. Hancher of Rapid, whose business
it shall be to consider the advisability
and feasibility Of the erection of q
Methodist college at some point in the
Black Hills,
The committe empowered to make
the selection are very fayoably impressed
with Sturgis as suitable site for the
building, and an effort should be made
by the citizens of Sturgis TO secure this
addition to the town. The following is
taken from the Rapid City Republican
aCuster City has already taken steps
to secure the college, while there is NO
doubt that Spearfsh, Sturgis.a Dead
wood, Hot Springs, and also RStd and
perhaps other places will make isbid on
it. The advantages OF such an eduGation-
al institution being located haEI all will
concede. The educational interests af-
forded children in city go much TO-
ward attracting immigration and toward
the upbuilding of the city on solid ba-
sis. SIN making the selection for the
site for the proposed college several
items will enter in the verdict of the
committee and govern their choice. The
amount of money subscribed by any
city as bonus will be one Of the items,
the location Of the city making the pro-
position will be another, and the health
fulness, beauty, and general character Of
the aspirant also will govern the CON-
mittee in their choice"

Mr.. Edjtor:-The Man-up-a-tree, in the
ArgttS of October 26th, gives his country
cousins very free lecture on the sin,
fraud, wickedness and meanness of calling
upon their village friends at or near the
dinner hour. He is wondrously frank and
plain-spoken about the matter. After call
ing these country people (who live within
a radius of from three to ten miles y " the
worst class of dead-beats to be encountered" !"
who want to sponge a square meal. a
horde of cormorants who come just al meal
time simply to save hotel bills, :" " leeches,"
" who cared for us only to eat our victuals," I"
and lot of other names, and after describ-
ing the work, the veXation and expense to
the housekeepers, he says: Probably
there is not a family in Montpelier but has
had nearly the same experience" 1t may
be so, but if so " God pity us one and pity
us dH," for there are two sides to this cousin
ing business. From the time the sap starts
in the trees in spring until the yellow leaves
rustic in autumn there has been a continual
outgoing of the children, the uncles and
aunts and cousins, from the village to the
country farms to get maple sugar, straw
berries and cream, to 90 fishing in the
brooks, to gather fruits and nuts in the or
chards and woods, to get bit of fresh air
and sometimes, possibly, to get a square
meal And the country people have always
so far received them cordially, fed them lib
orally and done the best they could to make
tnelr visits pleasant. NOW, Mr.. Editor, 1t
has been my lot to live much in the village
of Montpelier during the last thirty-five
years. and have spent lifetime mostly
within a radius of ten miles from the state
house. My means of observation have been
good, and my candid opinion is, as be-
tween the village and the country in the
matter of hospitality, that, while the bur-
den may be about even, the country people
bear it much more patiently. There may
be occasional instances of hardship on both
sides, but God forbid that the ancient and
sacred rites of hospitality should be aban-
doned. | have tossed these bits of grass and
turf at the " Man-up-a-tree as gentle hints
to come dolcn Tor to go up higher and get a
wider view of his subject, for | am 10th to
" try what virtue there is in stones" Keep
on your old beat, my boys stick to the sew
erage and damming of the North Branch
wallow, if you will, in the puddles of South
Main street; watch the boys and girls spark
ing on State street and the dances over on
Berlin side. As scavenger and scandal
mOnger you are likely to be a success. But
don't, if you wish to save any of your false
hair, 90 up among your country cousins just
yet. Nou have no idea how stout woman
